Hozier - Unaired Album Lyrics

Running with bulls
Working my miracles
Holding my world together with a bootstring
Living the dream
Benzos and gasoline
Coffee and blue light screens 'til the morning

If I tell you this is drowning
You tell me I'm walking on water
I could bring fire from the mountain
You tell me it feels a little colder
I don't wanna

Choose between
Being a salesman or a soldier
Just let me look a little older
Let me step a little bolder
Choose between
Being a butcher or a pauper
Honey, I'm taking no orders
Gonna be nobody's soldier

Sick to my skin
Watching the news again
Whatever you choose, you lose out in the long run
The paint on the walls
Come down like a waterfall
The goal I was aiming for was the wrong one

If I say that this is drowning
You tell me I'm walking on water
I could bring fire from the mountain
You tell me it feels a little colder
I don't wanna

Choose between
Being a salesman or a soldier
Just let me look a little older
Let me step a little bolder
Choose between
Being a butcher or a pauper
Honey, I'm taking no orders
Gonna be nobody's soldier

Nobody's soldier
Mmm, being a butcher
Nobody's soldier
Or a pauper, I'm
Nobody's soldier
I'm gonna be nobody's soldier

I don't wanna choose between
Being a salesman or a soldier
Just let me look a little older
Let me step a little bolder
Choose between
Being a butcher or a pauper
Honey, I'm taking no orders
I'm gonna be nobody's soldier

Winter worn me out like I was Prada
Threw up on me when the night was through
You can keep a dream in your mind
Only to find it's the hope that was killing you

But you arrived like sunlight in the gloom
And burned off the haze when the year was still new

Keeping me going how you show up like July, July
And July is still coming
It's made real by the things that you do
And July, July
And July is still coming
Just knowing that it's getting me through

And you can go to work
Until your disaster, babe
Build your temple the sound and stone
Put in all of their time only to find
By the end that your god has flown

Or all alone he sank like a stone
Took root where he fell and started to grow

Blooming beyond us like the promise of July, July
And July is still coming
It's made real by the things that you do
And July, July
And July is still coming
Just knowing that's getting me through

July, July
And July is still coming
It's made real by the things that you do
And July, July
And July is still coming
Just knowing that's getting me through

July, July
And July is still coming
It's made real by the things you do
And July, July
And July is still coming
Just knowing that's getting me through

One, two, three

It's the sound of it that brings me there
This city locked into a song of prayer
That finds no melody
Every moment of the working day
The twitching muscles in each step I take
The prayer is all of me

That I'd be
Anywhere that you are
That you are
That I'd be
Anywhere that you are
That you are

Maybe I have yet to venture out
See the places that I hear about
Planes and trains and cars
Carve their lines into a curve-like blades
All I get to are mistakes half-made
Leave the door ajar

But I'd be
Anywhere that you are
That you are
That I'd be
Anywhere that you are
You are

The prayer
Is all of me, all of me
The prayer
Is all of me, all of me

That I'd be
Anywhere that you are
That you are
That I'd be
Anywhere that you are
That you are
